" That Edinburgh having been fixed on for the Fourth Annual Meeting of the 

 British Association for the Advancement of Science, which is to take place in Sep- 

 tember next, it is necessary that a subscription be immediately set on foot for defray- 

 ing the expense of such entertainments as it may be found expedient to be given on 

 this occasion, in a manner suitable to it, and worthy of the hospitality for which Scot- 

 land has always been celebrated. 



" That the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Scotland generally, but more especially 

 those resident in Edinburgh or its Vicinity, be as soon as possible requested to enrol 

 their names as subscribers to such a fund ; and that a hope be expressed that public 

 bodies and chartered societies will be induced to contribute their aid, as far as they 

 may possess the means, in increasing the amount of this fund. 



" That the Royal Society having been the channel through which the invitation 

 to the British Association to hold its meeting this year in Edinburgh was conveyed, 

 and this Society being charged conjunctly with the local Office-bearers of the Asso- 

 ciation with the preparatory arrangements, shall take upon itself the collection and 

 management of this subscription, and shall appoint a Special Committee for that 

 purpose: and shall open Subscription Lists at the principal Banking Establishments, 

 and at the Office of the Treasurer of the Society. 



" That the sum of £50 be paid out of the Funds of the Royal Society on ac- 

 count of this subscription, and that all the members of the Society be specially in- 

 vited to contribute individually to this fund ; it being understood that no donation 

 should be of less amount than One Guinea."'
